Russia

Experience the fabulous Atlantic Salmon fishing on the Ponoi and the Varzuga on the Kola Peninsula and on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Accommodations run from primitive to excellent. Experienced Americans will be your guides as well as Russian guides who are learning quickly the classic Atlantic Salmon techniques.

On the southeast of the Kola Peninsula, there are several delightful salmon rivers, the Babia, Likhodeevka, Polanga, Umba and Pyalitza. This area is mostly tundra with sparse stands of birch and fir and much of the land covered with heather, moss, lichens and other arctic plants. Access is easy to the rivers.

Salmon ascend the rivers from late May till mid July followed by a huge run of sea-trout that continues into September.

By late August, the autumn run of salmon has begun and will last until late September. A helicopter is based at the camp situated on the Polanga to take up to eight rods out daily to the other rivers. This is flyfishing only and catch-and ãrelease with barbless flies.
